Rhynchostylis gigantea alba
This is a pretty one. flowers are just about 1/2 open, and pure white. This is a first bloom for me, have had a time keeping the grasshoppers away. See the leaf tips missing, grasshopper trim they call that..

The scent must be delightful. I had a chance to choose either 'white' or 'speckle' one. I chose the 'speckle' one instead. Mine is just about to bloom. Will see how it turns out.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful and the do smell great. I'm not sure about the grasshoppers though. Aren't they normally like that?

Yes I see that a lot, even buy them like that. I even brought that up at one of the suppliers here in homestead and he said it was normal. Now I look at all vanda leaves and to some degree they all have it.
